Invitation Wording – please help :)

My parents are hosting, and so I would like to acknowledge that in the invite. I’m thinking of going with :

Mr. & Mrs. XYZ

request the honor of your presence

at the marriage of their daughter

loveinthelibrary

to

Mr.loveinthelibrary

son of …… (his parents)

The problem is that his parents are divorced. They remain close friends and his mother never changed back to her maiden name, but I’m not sure she’d be comfortable with something that might imply that they were married. Would Mr. XYZ and Ms. XYZ work? Do I list each of their first names instead of just Mr. & Ms. XYZ?

1.When the groom’s parents are divorced,and would still like to be included on theinvitation: Mr. and Mrs. David Callahan /request the honor of your presence / at themarriage of their daughter / Sara Claire /to / Justin Winfield Pierce / son of/ Mrs. Rosemarie Pierce Beecher / and / Mr.Parker Stephen Pierce….

2.Mr. and Mrs. Bride’s parents

request the honour of your presence

at the marriage of their daugher

Bride

to

Groom

son of

Ms. Groom’s Mom Mr. Groom’s Dad

3.When a groom’s parents are divorced and are being included on the wedding invitation, the proper way to word the invitations is to list the groom’s mother’s name on the first line and the father’s name on the line beneath it. The names are not separated by the word “and” as this may imply they are still married, it also takes away from the visual precedence the Bride and Groom’s names should have on the wedding invitation.
